Stupid question: I have the turbotax Deluxe which has the federal returns + federal E-file. If my AGI is above the 72k limit for free filing will I still have to pay to file using Turbotax? I always have to send them a check so I don't mind going paper anyway.
If you've paid for the 2020 TurboTax Deluxe, the $40 you've paid includes electronic filing. You will then have to pay another $40 to prepare your state return, and that also includes electronic filing.
I have no idea how the online version of TurboTax works but the above is not correct for the download version.
Depending on the version of the download software you purchase, you get free copy of the software for one state. TTax graciously charge you an additional fee if you want to efile the state (it use to be 29.95). You can print the state return and paper file (at no cost). I assume this will be the same for 2020 returns.
I use the download version because I've been able to e-file up to 5 federal returns at no add'l charge. I prepare my returns, my kids returns, and my mother-in-law. (As I said in a prior post - don't know if TTax is the best software other but I know the interface and it picks up all the info from the prior year.)
